What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: This study investigates the early predictive value of infectious markers for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) after Stanford type A aortic dissection surgery. Methods: A retrospective review of the medical records of all patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection admitted to Shanghai General Hospital from July 2020 to July 2023 who received mechanical ventilation after surgery was performed. Patients were divided into infection and non-infection groups according to the presence of VAP. The clinical data of the two groups were compared. The early predictive values of procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and sputum smears for VAP were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: A total of 139 patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection were included in this study. There were 35 cases of VAP infection, and the VAP incidence rate was 25.18%. The CRP, PCT, and NLR levels in the infection group were more significant than those in the non-infection group ( Conclusions: The combined application of the NLR, CRP, PCT and sputum smear is helpful for the early diagnosis of VAP after Stanford type A aortic dissection surgery to help clinicians make decisions about treating VAP quickly.
